The overall silhouette and color combination are similar, but the leg shapes are different.

This kit is the HG Zaku Cannon Test Type released as a Club G (Premium Bandai) online exclusive. It's based on the HG Zaku Half Cannonreleased as a standard retail kit. The head, chest armor, front skirt, shoulders, and backpack have all been replaced with newly tooled parts, giving it a noticeably different look compared to the original.

With so many design changes applied, it really feels like the Zaku Cannon we know has been nicely reimagined in HG Origin style. Since the core frame is identical to the HG Origin Zaku, it still delivers excellent articulation and joint strength — making this a high-quality kit all around. The Big Gun and 180mm cannon are also the same in terms of sculpt and functionality as the HG Zaku Half Cannon. As a bonus, rabbit-type head antennae are included so you can swap them in depending on your preference.

So while the Zaku Cannon already got an MG release back in 2008, it took all the way until 2017 for it to show up at the HG level — and even then, only as an HG Origin Club G exclusive. That said, true to the reputation of the HG Origin series for solid, reliable quality, it came out looking clean and sharp. If you've been waiting for a proper HG Zaku Cannon, this one's a no-brainer — just go for it. :-)
